Total Hours: Four

Prerequisite: Basic Windows Skills

Microsoft Outlook Express puts the world of online communication on your desktop. Whether you want to exchange e-mail with family or friends or join newsgroups to trade ideas and information, the tools you need are here. If you take this class you will be introduced to basic features of the program.

Manage multiple e-mail and newsgroup accounts

If you have several e-mail or newsgroup accounts, you can work with all of them within one window. You can also create multiple users, or identities, for the same computer. Each identity has unique e-mail folders and an individual Address Book. Multiple identities make it easy for you to keep work e-mail separate from personal e-mail, and also to keep individual users' e-mail separated.

Browse through messages quickly and easily

Using the message list and preview pane, you can view a list of messages and read individual messages at the same time. You can also create new folders to organize and sort messages, and then set up message rules so that incoming e-mail that meets your criteria automatically goes to a specific folder. You can also create your own views to customize the way you look at your e-mail.
